In July 2021, Thien Chi supported Mrs. Hanh in implementing a pig farming model as part of a project. Initially, she started with two piglets for breeding, intending to raise them to maturity. When the mother pig gave birth, Mrs. Hanh would sell the piglets, keeping some to raise for meat. Despite fluctuating pig prices, the successful breeding of Mrs. Hanh's pigs increased the family income. In early 2023, her breeding sow gave birth to 14 piglets, which were eventually sold for 50 million VND. Mrs. Hanh earned a profit of 14 million VND. Later this year, the mother pig gave birth to 13 more piglets, 10 of which were sold for 10 million VND. The remaining 3 were kept and raised, currently weighing nearly 50kg each.
